星载双基地SAR系统模糊性

针对星载双基地SAR由双基地几何关系引入的新问题,提出了计算其模糊比的新方法和近似分解方法。利用此方法通过仿真计算对星载双基地SAR模糊性变化规律做了进一步研究。结果表明,因接收天线的面积限制,与其伴随飞行的大卫星SAR相比,模糊性问题更为严重,但变化规律基本一致。比较而言,由于小卫星天线尺寸在高度上更接近大卫星天线,在距离模糊比上相对大卫星SAR抬高得不多,而在方位模糊比上抬高较大。     

微波脉冲对导航接收机跟踪环路载噪比的影响

为了明确微波脉冲对导航接收机的最佳干扰参数,通过对微波脉冲干扰下导航接收机跟踪环路相关处理的理论分析,根据微波脉冲谱线、扩频码谱线以及相干积分时间三者之间的关系,提出一种微波脉冲干扰分类方法,推导了不同参数微波脉冲干扰下相关输出功率和载噪比,并进行了试验验证。理论分析与试验结果表明,当微波脉冲宽度大于等于扩频码周期且小于相干积分时间时,进入相干积分器带宽内的多条微波脉冲谱线干扰某一条扩频码谱线,该微波脉冲参数对导航接收机的干扰效果最佳,且优于连续波干扰;随着干扰谱线数量增多,跟踪环路相关输出功率值增加,载噪比减小,干扰效果增强。

Conflict and fiscal capacity

We examine the role of war in retarding state fiscal capacity in developing countries, measured by tax revenue ratios to GDP. We build a simple theoretical model of a factionalized state, where patronage substitutes for common interest public goods, along with violent contestation over a rent or prize. Our dynamic panel empirical analysis applied to 79 developing countries, during 1980–2010, indicates that war, especially civil war, retards fiscal capacity, along with imperfect democracy, political repression, poor governance, and dependence on oil and macroeconomic mismanagement. High intensity conflict is particularly destructive of state capacity. In countries experiencing low intensity wars, other institutional factors may matter more than war. The diminution of fiscal capacity due to war appears less pronounced after the end of the cold war.     

Why internal conflict deteriorates state capacity? Evidence from Colombian municipalities

Previous work has documented a negative correlation between internal conflict and state capacity. We attempt to shed light on mechanisms that underlie this relationship, using data for Colombian municipalities. We rely on identifying heterogeneous effects of different types of violent events on state capacity, taking advantage of variability across municipalities in the prevalence of specific manifestations of conflict and their intensity. Our findings suggest that events making civilians feel targeted affect the state’s capacity to collect taxes, while those reflecting a stronger military capacity of illegal armies, in particular their large-scale attacks, affect the state’s capacity to provide public goods.     

Dynamic signatures and their use in comparing the reliability of new and used systems

The signature of a system with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) component lifetimes is a vector whose ith element is the probability that the ith component failure is fatal to the system. System signatures have been found to be quite useful tools in the study and comparison of engineered systems. In this article, the theory of system signatures is extended to versions of signatures applicable in dynamic reliability settings. It is shown that, when a working used system is inspected at time t and it is noted that precisely k failures have occurred, the vector s [0,1]^n‐k whose jth element is the probability that the (k + j)th component failure is fatal to the system, for j = 1,2,2026;,n ‐ k, is a distribution‐free measure of the design of the residual system. Next, known representation and preservation theorems for system signatures are generalized to dynamic versions. Two additional applications of dynamic signatures are studied in detail. The well‐known “new better than used” (NBU) property of aging systems is extended to a uniform (UNBU) version, which compares systems when new and when used, conditional on the known number of failures. Sufficient conditions are given for a system to have the UNBU property. The application of dynamic signatures to the engineering practice of “burn‐in” is also treated. Specifically, we consider the comparison of new systems with working used systems burned‐in to a given ordered component failure time. In a reliability economics framework, we illustrate how one might compare a new system to one successfully burned‐in to the kth component failure, and we identify circumstances in which burn‐in is inferior (or is superior) to the fielding of a new system. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
